    YOu have to be very careful... if the video card is not supported the game will simply not play so be warned of this!

    Also your macbook may have trouble keeping up with some of those games (i.e. Sims 2) well my dorm mates had a hard time keeping up with it!

    Sorry to Threadjack, but I had a question regarding sorkvild's link.

    It has powerpc and intel on some of the games I want to play. I will be getting an iMac with the intel chip. Will the games labeled powerpc not work on this at all?

    What is this "rosetta" that I saw on that link for some of those games? Im sorry for the questions but Im a noob to macs...finally giving up on pcs :)
